Brief Answer:
Do you take any calcium supplements?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

This is very close to the normal and should really not be any concern. Ideally, just repeat this test in 3months and let's see where we stand. Do you take any calcium supplements or drink fortified milk?

In all, nothing to worry about. Just a follow up test in a couple of months would suffice.
